And then I was having a blonde moment, I wasn’t quite sure which was to attach the zuke, but I guessed right. I thought to make long noodles, I may need to attach it the “long way” rather than horizontal. How many blondes does it take to change a spiralizer blade? Just one today, thankfully.

So I put the noodles in a bowl. I was pleasantly shocked at the quantity of noodles my 1 zuke provided. The recipe in my head was based on a very loose approximation of Gena’s Peanut Noodles.

And then I topped with carrots, yellow & red pepps, & cukes and popped that badboy bowl of raw veggie goodness in the fridge. This plan-ahead action totally saved time at the miserable dinner bewitching hour when everyone is in meltdown mode. And mommy needs a mojito.

The dressing is noticeably void of onions or garlic (hate ’em), miso (aka soy which I intolerant to), tamari (and even the wheat-free still has gluten; intolerant to) nama shoyu (soy) and of course regular soy sauce is soy + sodium on a spoon, intolerant + nasty. So I am pretty damn proud that this stuff rocked our tastebuds and had no allergens or nasties!

So here’s some pics of my gorg food. I’m just a smidge proud of this. Scott proclaimed it looked like a restaurant platter. I not-so-humbly totally agreed.

Come closer…

For Scott’s I added some soy nuggets and cashews, and some salad because we were running outta the Thai Peanut Action. And of course, I wasn’t sharing mine.

Back to the yummy factor of the peanut dressing, you can see it pooling a bit in the bottom of the bowl. Is it considered poor ettiquette to drink your dressing when you’re done with your food? Didn’t think so.

Earlier in the day I went to HomeGoods. Never been in one before…dangerous, very dangerous ladies. If you have just moved into a new pad or if you’ve been in your current crib since the Reagan administration, this place is the Marshall’s/TJ Maxx of home furnishings. I picked up a few things. But used tons of restraint.

A bamboo expandable silverware drawer organizer for 19.99, 1 lone cute white bowl that Thai Peanut love was photo’ed in, and 1 lone towel. The only downside to this kinda place is that if you need a set you may be outta lucky. Oh well, I still felt pretty lucky with these scores.

And here was the wonders of the silverware organizer in my Go-To Utensil Drawer Numero Uno

And Drawer Numero Dos. I cannot stand messy stuff. It drives me nuts and I cannot function til everything is in it’s place. Do you have any weird, anal habits? I’ve got plenty. That’s just today’s scoop.

Yoga is Half-headstand, aka Arda Sirsanana. I even found you a video link (only watched the first 15 secs but it looked a-okay). I hope there are no foot fetish’ers reading…cuz these feet may just cure you of your fetish. Sorry bout the uber tootsie closeup.

In order to hang out in half headstand you need to lock your bandhas, tilt your pelvis backwards, and make everything feel like you’re tucking yourself and pointing backward into your spinal column. Hope that was as clear as mud.

Tip of the Day: My Chia GiveAway and the NuNaturals GiveAway!! The vanilla Nu stevia liquid is sooo good, seriously. And I’m givin’ away 6 jars of the stuff…you really need to enter and tell all your BFF’s in the blogosphere to do the same!

I think at one point, my facebook status said, "does anyone want to adopt me so I can be the black sheep of your family?" Hang in there. It will get easier…either through your own coming to terms with their lack of support, or them growing to understand and respect your choices.

although i am a black sheep in the fam for a different reason (religion) i am still a black sheep! so we can hang out together ;)

ok, my mouth was watering at the "pasta" dish with peanut sauce and then you had to go and whip up that apple thang. holy YUM! i need to go get my vitamix back from my mom pronto and give this a whirl. i am sure my vegan dudes would love me for it! i am going to have to test out a bunch of your stuff on them, i am always trying to find new fun vegan eats to feed them (all of my boyf's roomies are vegan, you probably didn't know that since i havent blogged about them in awhile!)

thanks again for the chia giveaway, i am stoked. i will email you here shortly.

Oh my! The apple crumble looks FAB!!! I must give that a try – soon. And you've convinced me to finally get a spiralizer. My next Amazon order is going to include the purchase.And don't worry about being the black sheep. There's enough of us now, so that we aren't in the minority anymore! ha ha. I've marched to the beat of my own drummer for so long that being a black sheep is actually a compliment. So, congtrats to you for being THE ONE in your family!!!!

p.s. is there ever a day where you don't use your vita? I don't think so and I love you ever so much for that :)

p.s. just catching up on your other posts and I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't even imagine how upsetting and disheartening to not feel as though you have the support from your mother but try to take her comments with a grain of salt. You are a grown woman and know what's best for yourself. Focus on you girl!

Thanks to everyone who has just wished me well and sent positive thoughts with the lack of support from my madre. Yeah, I'm only 33…it's time to be like Whatever and just do my thing, take care o biznass round here and fu*k the rest of the b.s. Pardon my french :) Well, not really. I do have a truck driver's potty mouth if you weren't able to gather that from the bloggie :)

And to my crumble lovers, yeah it was pretty off the chain. After I got those pics up, then the softserve started melting and it got like apple pie ala dairy-free mode. Quite delish. PBJ I won't tell your gramma, and yeah i use my VitaLord daily…I dont know how I lived before it.
